Hello Guys,
Strange problem here, I am a simple mobile customer, using a Samsung Galaxy S3 ( Unlocked , rooted and have custom rom ). The phone was working perfect until 8 am yesterday! I didnt do any changes , all of a sudden the phone will not register to the Simple network.
However, the sim works fine with an S2! AT&T sim works fine with my S3 also! So i can't figure out what the problem is !!!
Thanks,
Joe.

Simple mobile user here. Works fine for me. maybe restart phone? check the network setting, maybe it routed to different carrier.
Might be blacklisted? Try to do a complete wipe and reinstall the system.

Sounds like it was blacklisted.
I was wondering if blacklists apply to MVNOs. Like the case in point, will a phone blocked on T-Mobile work on Simple Mobile even though Simple uses Tmobile network.
As of 31 October 2012, the U.S. Cellular Providers are sharing IMEI/ESN data to ensure that phones blacklisted on one carrier CANNOT be activated on another carrier. T-Mobile and AT&T are also tied into the international GSM IMEI Blacklist Database to ensure that phones blacklisted overseas cannot be activated in the U.S. and vice-versa.

Is there anyway to protect yourself while buying a used phone off of ebay/craigslist to make sure the phone is not reported stolen later?
Thanks
Meet them at a service store if using craigslist for a rep to check the status.

Sounds like the imei is blacklisted likely stolen phone. I always buy phones online and ask that they have the original box so I can avoid this.
The phone was bought new though! I have the box and everything and it did work on simple mobile for about month and a half! the phone is rooted and flashed multiple roms but no luck!

Go into settings and see if the imei still shows up? Sometimes the IMEI is lost while flashing roms. This would not allow the phone to get service. Was this after you flashed a rom?
I'm having the same problem! Except it stopped working around Friday which was December 14th. I've tried to troubleshoot this myself and the only thing I can come up with is that it's because I unlocked my phone. I got this phone brand new mid october and I've been using simple mobile with it since. Then last week I used that free unlock for Galaxy S3's and Note 2's via dialing the code in and going to the the network lock and switching it off. Last Tuesday, I tested it with an AT&T sim to confirm it was unlocked as I needed it for use in Japan and it worked fine. Then it suddenly stopped working last Friday.
Here are the things I've done:
1) Attempted to use a T-Mobile/AT&T SIM in my phone to confirm that my phone works and isn't "blacklisted" I've called and texted with those sims.
2) I put my simple mobile SIM into another T999 Galaxy S3 and it worked fine without setting up APN settings. I received my texts and voicemails as soon as the SIM was in. The only difference between my phone and that phone is that I unlocked mine and my friend left his locked It was the same model phone, the T999 T-Mobile version of the S3.
3) I've called up CS for Simple Mobile and they've went through all their "troubleshooting tools" and even called up their tech support with T-Mobile to confirm that my phone is getting coverage. The interesting thing that they kept telling me that is on their system and T-Mobile's systems, they see my phone as connected and idling which means I should be getting service.
4 and 5) I've factory reset my phone and bought a new sim card and did a sim swap and still no go.
And yes, if I type *#06#, I get my IMEI so I don't think my IMEI is "lost" unless there is another way to check. I've looked elsewhere for the solution and this is the only post where I found someone having the same exact problem as me.
The method I used for the unlock is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34661189&postcount=1
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

i got it same problem has no one fixed this or even no WY it happened . no help on the net anywhere
Phone probably blacklisted. Go to check esn free website. On the dropdown box look for the blacklisted imei and enter yours to see if it is in their system. You can also try calling T-Mobile.

Hi
I've just received a Galaxy Nexus Sprint from someone who didn't want it anymore and seeing as how I live in the Netherlands.
Is there a way for me to mod the hardware in a way that the phone will receive a normal sim card?
TIA
no. sprint phones work only on sprint.
So is there anyone from the netherlands who might know how to get this phone working?
And if not, is anyone interested in a Galaxy Nexus Sprint

Too bad, but thanks for your answers anyway!
I have a galaxy note 3 from at&t. My mother in law wants to use it, it's completely unlocked. She is on my tmobile plan. Everything is working, Internet, calling, text, but she can't get mms working.
Is there anyway to flash a tmobile rom/baseband to the phone and it work correctly. If so could someone provide me with some quick steps/links to do so. I would greatly appreciate it.

You need to change the APN settings on the phone to T-Mobile settings. Copy from your phone the exact APN setting to the other phone.
I did do that, turns out I had to add another few things to the line that says defaul,supl,etc
Working like a charm now thank you

Just bought a nice N900T on Ebay. It works well on T-Mobile but when trying to get the network lock removed, I noticed a sticker in the battery compartment that says "SGH-N900A". Which means that this was/is an AT&T phone. And when I tested the IMEI on imei.info it confirmed that this phone has an AT&T IMEI. Very strange. Even stranger is that it is network locked to T-Mobile. No other sim accepted. So where would I go to unlock this. AT&T or TMobile??
Confirm the motherboard model number by booting into download mode.
So I'm wanting to switch to a different carrier from boost Mobile but according to boost Mobile's unlock rules I've got to have my phone activated on my account for 1 fill year which is February of next year. Does anyone know of a way around this without waiting till next year to unlock my phone which is the Samsung Galaxy s9 sm-g960u or the Galaxy s8 sold by boost? Any help would be greatly appreciated

if its carrier locked, you could try flashing the g960u1 firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares via odin and see if that works, but if it doesnt, then youll have to go to a paid service. Ive personally used idoneapps several times on some S5s back in the day, and the devs are always quick to answer questions if you run into issues
hello,
this note 10+ ask to login to Information Security Solution
this screen keeps coming again and again
any way to get rid of this app ?
Where did you get that phone? Have you tried doing a complete wipe?
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
it came from korea
wipe data and cache not help
even i flashed it
That appears to be a tester model from before the release of the phone. I am guessing you won't be able to use it. Ever. You were swindled. Hope it wasn't expensive.
